Fizz and cakes were flowing at the smart new building which even features a little of Sandbach's history in a permanent display on an internal wall.

Sharon Casey, practice manager said: "The feedback on the new premises so far is that it looks great.

"There is a lot of passing trade and good parking nearby. We have a friendly, helpful team whose aim is to make customers feel comfortable and relaxed."

The Sandbach shop, one of around 50 Bayfields branches nationwide, celebrates the town's history with a poem: "In this ancient valley of sand, great crosses the square adorn.

"We brewed fine ales, then made our wares in mills of silk and corn.

"A birthplace of trucks and lorries, where the brass band still plays on. Rare birds frequent the flashes, flooding them with songs.

"From comedians, critics and cricketers, to archaeologists, poets, physicians. For a small and humble place, we're big on our ambitions.

"We market on Scotch Common and set the salt line straight. And all who call Sandbach home, think it's pretty great. This is us."
